I have been teaching at Huntsville High School since the 2007-2008 school year. I teach AP Government and Politics, on-level US Government, AP MacroEconomics, and on-level Economics, and am the sponsor for the Senior class. I graduated from Auburn University in 1995, and went back to school to get my secondary teaching certification in Social Sciences at the University of Missouri in St. Louis in 2002. My husband and I are the proud parents of 3 children. When not teaching young minds at HHS, I enjoy reading, camping, and hiking. I also play the trombone in the Huntsville Community Concert Band, and I am an instructor and hold a third degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, a traditional Korean martial art.
